Was about to say. Those trees lining the road: surely not Aussie.

Nah, it's too tidy for that. :)
Our churches are quite different too.

That's a Spanish no parking sign surely. I'll go Albacete.

Stop sign says Pare so Latin America is likely

100% South America, so thats the continent. Now to find the street

I've been thinking Andean plateau because of the way it seems cold but I've only been to Bolivia there, and only a handful of places there, and this isn't one of them. But the cars (old & small) match those I saw there. The pickup truck suggests something in the USA's orbit, and that this is not total poverty (so again, probably not Bolivia).

no cars like that in a reasonably affluent European country I don’t think

Agree that the cars absolutely aren't well-off European, so I guess Spanish South American. But it's still cold, people are still wrapped up. Argentina? Uruguay?
― Zelda Zonk, Friday, 29 January 2021 13:49 (three years ago) link
That's why I said Andean plateau. It's chilly to cold there year round, at least in many places, because it's so high up.

Unless this photo is from the 90s, I'm very confused by these cars. I did a bunch of street drops across Latin/South America and Bolivia was the only one that remotely matched
I swear to god I've seen those banners before, I thought maybe they were a cellphone provider name I'd seen elsewhere or something but it doesn't seem to be the case

the "accent mark" does look like a text bubble

yeah, what about that banner? on this one more letters are visible

I figured out the banners. It's for ANTEL, the state telecom company of Uruguay.

If you can guess a pop. 20,000 town in Uruguay within less than 24h based on two adjacent photos, then perhaps the true hard mode is a random nondescript highway in the middle of nowhere.
― pomenitul, Friday, 29 January 2021 14:13 (three years ago) link
last few times I tried geoguesser it was always like that: some random dirt road in rural Brazil or Australia or Russia, zero text anywhere, often no buildings

The first photo was impossible though, even if we'd been able to figure out the logo
The church was first on the list of "cathedrals in Uruguay"

Respect to the owner of the green car. Maybe it belongs to the parish.

Looking at street view now that little green shed has moved

True. I should have posted the Museo Spikerman second and the Catedral last.

First photo was at least enough to lean towards Spanish/Spanish heritage I think

Insofar as "random highways" I think this might actually be somewhat easy

Reykjavik

Yep
Hafnarfjörður to be exact
Figured somebody'd immediately be like "that is a smelting plant"

Was there a few years ago. That's on the way from the airport to the city, it's huge

That pipe mounted to the side of it is like half-a-kilometer long and it gets smaller and smaller and it's pretty transfixing to see as you drive past it

Okay, hope this works.

Another one with distinctive streetlights. I got nothing so far other than 'looks like somewhere in Russia'.

I was thinking somewhere in Eastern Germany but this is a totally unscientific hunch on my part.
